Identification of seafood through DNA analysis. This applies not only to fresh fish but also to processed foods that cannot be judged by appearance.
We offer a seafood DNA identification test that matches the sample DNA with a database and reports the official name as indicated in the seafood naming guidelines. 【Features of the Test】 ◆ DNA analysis that is not affected by the appearance of the sample Since it is a DNA analysis rather than morphological identification, it is possible to identify species even in processed foods where species determination cannot be made based on appearance. *Testing is not possible if there are multiple mixed species or if the DNA is significantly degraded. ◆ Overwhelming number of species covered More than 200 species of edible seafood from both domestic and international sources can be tested. Therefore, it can be used for a wide range of applications, such as confirming ingredient labels. *For details, please request a catalog or view the PDF data from the download.
